Our recent Volunteer Appreciation Night Presented by The Irricana & District Chamber of Commerce was a shining example of what makes our town truly special. The event brought together the heart and soul of our community—our volunteers—and the generous local sponsors who support them. Without these dedicated individuals and businesses, many of the events and associations that enrich our town would not be possible. This post celebrates their contributions and encourages everyone to recognize and support the people and businesses that keep our community vibrant.
Volunteers Are the Heartbeat of Our Town
Volunteers are the driving force behind countless community activities. They give their time, energy, and skills without expecting anything in return. Their passion creates opportunities for connection, growth, and support within our town. From organizing events to helping local associations, volunteers make a real difference every day.
At the Volunteer Appreciation Night, it was clear how much the community values these efforts. Guests shared stories of how volunteers have touched their lives and expressed gratitude for the positive impact they have on the town’s spirit. The night was a reminder that volunteers are not just helpers—they are the heartbeat of our community.
Our Sponsors Make It All Possible
Events like the Volunteer Appreciation Night require support beyond volunteer efforts. We are deeply grateful to our amazing sponsors who made the evening possible:
FCSS (Family and Community Support Services)
Town of Irricana
Rocky View County FCSS
These organizations provide essential funding and resources that allow us to host events that bring people together and celebrate community spirit.
In addition to these key sponsors, several local businesses sponsored tables at the event, showing their commitment to supporting volunteers and the town:
Jade’s Cleaning
The Irricana Mug
Integra Tire / Phil’s Auto
Luff Industries
Why So Achy
The Irricana Shine
The Irricana Lions
Their support not only helped fund the event but also highlighted the strong partnerships between local businesses and community groups.
Memorable Moments from the Night
The Volunteer Appreciation Night was filled with fun and memorable experiences. Guests couldn’t stop talking about the delicious food provided by The Irricana Mug. Their catering brought a warm, local flavor to the event that everyone enjoyed.
Another highlight was the Music Bingo game, which added a lively and entertaining twist to the evening. It was a great way for attendees to relax, laugh, and connect with one another.
These moments show how combining volunteer efforts with local business support creates events that are both meaningful and enjoyable.
Why Supporting Local Businesses Matters
Local businesses are more than just places to shop or eat—they are pillars of our community. When you support them, you help sustain jobs, encourage local entrepreneurship, and keep money circulating within the town. This support also strengthens the partnerships that make events like Volunteer Appreciation Night possible.
If you see any of the businesses that sponsored our event, take a moment to thank them. A simple “thank you” goes a long way in showing appreciation for their commitment to the community.
How You Can Get Involved
Whether you are a volunteer, a local business owner, or a community member, there are many ways to contribute:
Volunteer your time for local events or associations.
Support local businesses by shopping or using their services.
Attend community events to show your appreciation and connect with others.
Spread the word about the importance of volunteers and sponsors in your networks.
Every action helps build a stronger, more connected town.
